Traders engaged in bulk breaking activities in and around the central business district (CBD) of Accra have been given up to July 1 to relocate to the Adjen Kotoku Market in the Ga West Municipal Assembly (GWMA).
After the deadline, the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC), together with a security task force, will move into full gear on a massive decongestion exercise to remove all structures within their trade areas.
The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, who gave the directive, said the move was in concert with the “Let’s Make Accra Work” initiative by the GARCC.
The minister stated this when he held a meeting with the leaders of some onion sellers associations in Accra yesterday.

The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (RCC) is set to relocate some traders from the Central Business District (CBD) of Accra to the Adjen Kotoku Market in the Ga West Municipality.
The move is to ease congestion and ensure free flow of vehicular traffic within Accra.
The targeted groups are traders who engage in bulk breaking activities in some of the busy markets in the metropolis.
The market
The Adjen Kotoku Market, which is a bulk breaking market complex, was started in 2008 and completed in 2011.
It was originally built to accommodate traders in the Agbogbloshie Market to ease congestion in the area.
